Father McGlynn will be the second Roman
Catholic priest accommodated in this coun-
try The other was DIR. John Murray
Forbes, who was expelled in 1859. Forbes
was brought up an Episcopalian, and was
for timesthe pastor Of church of that de-
nomination in New York. When.the Oxford
movement started in England in 1S49 DIR.
Forbes was attracted to it, and renounced
the Episcopal faith and joined the Catholic
church. For ten years he remained a Catholic,
and then decided to go back to his old faith.
Before he took the final step he wrote an OPP
en- letter to Archbishop Hughes, in which he
said that as priest of the Catholic church it
deyolyed upon him to sacrifice 1.-THE natural
rights Of man and individual liberty" and
Furthermore, that the private conscience
was often violated and one was forced by ST.
lence to acquiesce in what is opposed to NOR
al truth and Justice" He was naturally a
man whose social traits were marked, and
his work as a Catholic priest he found after
ten years of service to be uncongenial to his
nature After the publication of his letter
TO Archbishop Hughes, which made sensa-
ton at the time, it was supposed that Forbes
would Immediately suffer the major excom-
munlcatlon, but it was not until he appeared
In Protestant pulpit and preached again
the Protestant doctrines that his exeommu-
nication was published by Archbishop
Hughes DIR. Forbes died six years ago.

The President has once more renewed his
devotion to the cause of reform by appoint
ing Thomas Giegerich internal revenue col
lector for New York. Giegerich is at present
employed in his fathers rumshop. dispens-
ing drinks to thirsty topers He is without
experience in any kind of business except
that of mixing gin cocktails and whiskey
punches. But the President has appointed
him the head of an Office which collects S6,000,-
GOO annually. The secret of his selection is
that his father is PROMINENT in Tammany Hall,
and the sons appointment is expected to rec
oncile that organization, which was bitterly
hostile to Mr.. Cleyeland's nomination three
years ago, and might be again if it were not
conciliated. How such an appointment as

they also recognize how much of the general
outward effect is really due to the pictur-
esqueness of the national garb. Ii confir-
nation of this be needed, 1t is sufficient to
behold the same women clad in foreign
clothes, or to mix in any gathering where
the two styles can be seen together. Making
full allowance for the disadvantages that, in
the nature of things, must tell against q cos
tune to which its wearer is wholly unaccus-
toned, no one who has eyes to see can then
hesitate as to the artistic superiority of the
japanese apparel. And besides its aesthetic
merits, the latter has other points of excel
lence. 1t is healthy, in that it involves no
distortion or compression of the kinds i'm
posed by Western fashions. If the skirts of
well dressed lady's robes are gathered
somewhat too tightly for active locomotion-
perhaps the only fault that can be found in
her whole attire-no other part of her frame
is subjected to unnatural constraint; while
the massive girde gives warmth and pro-
lection to the chief bodily Organs. Second
ly, it is very much less expensive than the
West. Jewelry, moreover, forms no part of
it in any station of life. Again, its fashions
are abiding. While a Japanese belle. like all
of her sex, delights in having good clothes
and plenty Of them, she has--or at least has
hitherto had-the comfortable assurance
that her ever-increasing wardrobe is in no
danger OF being at any moment thrown out
Of date by the caprices of court milliners
and fashion mongers. Lastly, it is admira-
bly, suited to the beautiful fabrics of the
country.
1t is no wonder, then, that the grievous
change now in progress is loudly deprecated
by nearly all on-lookers With most of us
the first feeling is one of wrathful indigna-
tion. That the Japanese, who are nothing If
not artistic, should set themselves in this
cold blooded way to blot out one of the most
delightful and picturesque features Of the
whole national life is regarded as incredible,
unnatural and exasperating 1t is yandal-
ism; it is sacrilege; 1t is senseless mimicry
it is everything that is bad. That is the
general lament, and there seems to be good
deal in its favor. But, on the other hand,
is it possible that sacrifice so deplorable
and so palpably to Japan's loss rests on no
stronger or higher ground than giddy as
piration to ape, even to this bitter end, the
pomps and fashions of the West? 1t is a
habit in certain quarters to speak of the Jap
anese as a nation of children. always thirst
ing after some new toy. Yet that character
will hardly be assigned to Count Ito, even
by the most reckless Of censors. And Count
Ito it undoubtedly was who advised the En-
press to inaugurate the new movement

JAPANESE WOMEN.
Some of the Reasons for Their Gen.

The general attractiveness of the Japa-

two opinions, is due in more than ordinary
degree to the becoming character of their
ralment and the grace with which it is worn.
rev Japanese women possess physical
beauty Of those lofty types which are the

comely and engaging, rather than handsome.

her h0mely but tasteful garments, her eyes

pleasing specimens of womankind. But

mont, must be taken with many grains of
salt. As the New York Times says, "If any
such shares were ever issued for the purpose
of bribery, it is evident that the person
charged With their distribution made this
memorandum to cover the amounts private
ly appropriated as salye for his own wound
ed conscience" In other words, certain
men got hold of lot of stock, and embez-
zled it, and to explain its disappearance in
situated that it had been paid out to buy the
influence of prominent men. Gen. Stone
does not pretend to know that single one
of the men mentioned in the memorandum
ever received dollar, and the only evidence
against them is the memorandum of certain
men who confessed that they were bribers.
Such evidence, without confederation, and
not an iota Of confederation is offered, is alb
solutely worthless, and hardly calls for de-

PATRIOTIC YOUNG LADY.

At all events, the courage of the Connecti-

must be commended. Indeed, it might be
claimed for her that she is type of the tru-
ly ideal American patriot, as She gives her
self and her life as a sacrifice to the exempli-
fication and practical furtherance of the
great American idea, that in the United
States all peoples, races and colors meat on
perfect equality and assimiate. 1t is posi-

An effort will be made to modify the val
ued policy law at the present session of the
New Hampshire legislature, and bill look
ing to that end has already been prepared.
This bin provides that "the party, company
or association hereafter insuring any building
or structure against loss or damage by fire or
lightning, by n renewal of a policy hereto
fore issued, or otherwise, shall cause said
building or structure to be examined by an
agent of the insurers and full description
thereof to be made and the insurable value
thereof be fixed by such agent In the alb
sence Of any change increasing the risk,
without the consent of the insurer or insur-
ers, or of intentional fraud on the part of the
insured, in case of total loss the whole
amount mentioned in the policy, or renewal
upon which the insurers receive a premium
shall be paid. In case of partial loss the full
amount of the partial loss shall be paid. In
case there are two or more policies upon the
property, each policy shall contribute to the
payment of the whole or the partial loss In
proportion to the amount of insurance men,
toned in each policy. but in no case shall
any insurer be required to pay more than
the amount mentioned in the policy" This
seems an equitable measure. The insurer
after examination of the property is himself
to fix the amount of the risk in the first place,
and after he has made contract with the
insured on that basis he is held to it, unless
there has been fraud practiced by the in
sured. The practice which now preails in
most of the states of insuring property to
any amount the person seeking the insurance
asks for, is frequently productive Of expen-
siye litigation both to the insurer and in
sured, and both are sufferers in consequence
of it. 1t holds out strong temptation to
dishonest men who have unproductiye prop
erty to burn it down, and in various other
ways tends to corruption. 1t is very slack,
loose way of doing business, and if the conf
panies do not see fit TO stop it voluntarily, the
state may as well compel them to.

Way down east in the city of Halifax is an
engine company called the Union Company.
The Queens jubilee came and went without
a British flag floating over the company's
house. OF course there was unfavorable
comment and insinuations that the aforesaid
engine company wanted to be annexed to
the United States. The comment coming to
the ears of the company they have assem-
bled and formally resolved that it was not
their business, but the business of the city
officials, to hoist the flag; but nevertheless
they regret that the flag was not hoisted
and appeal to their record in the past, and
most emphatically repudiate the insinuations
made by unfriendly persons that they are
not true and loyal subjects of her Majesty,
the Queen" Peace now reigns in Halifax
and the troops will not be called out.

When the people of Calais joined their
neighbors of st. Stephen in observing the
Queens jubilee, a Boston paper unkindly re-
marked that 'Calais and st. Stephen people
have too many smuggling ties not to coop
crate freely in anything that is up" This
unkind ding has so stirred up the local paper
at st. Stephen, the st. Croix Courier, that it
accuses the editor who penned the para
graph of having an 'lnfnitestimal soul. :"

one in Maine ever supposed for an instant
that the people of Calais or st. Stephen ever
did any smuggling.

Mr.. Powderly announces that he intends
TO decline to again be candidate for Grand
Master Workman Of the Knights Of Labor
His decision is not to be wondered st. He
has struggled hard to keep peace among the
warning factions Of the order and has tried
to guide the order along conservative paths;
but the pressure has frequently been too
strong for him, and oftentimes he has found
himself carried along by current which he
would have resisted if he could. The pres
tige which he enjoyed with the knights
year ago has been in great degree lost, and
he now finds his influence with the order
very much weakened. Indeed one wing is
openly denouncing him. But it is only fair
to say that Mr.. Powderly's administration
has been characterized by an intention to do
the right thing, even If it did not always do
it. Had the order obeyed him it would be
to-day in much better shape than it is. But
it was headstrong; it could not brook delay
it wanted to reyolutionize the whole econom-
ic system of the country in day, and be-
cause its leader counseled patience it ac-
cused him Of half-heartedness and of treach-
cry even. A considerable part of the order
think Powderly is too slow and want bril-
liant policy.

The gist Of the Presidents long letter to
Mayor Francis of st. Louis is, that having
found that visit from him to that city at
the time of the Grand Army encampment
would not be agreeable to that organiza-

resolution not to go where he has strong
reasons to believe he is not wanted, certain
ly does the President credit. But he might
have expressed his feelings much more
briefly, and probably would, had not the
next Democratic National Convention been
nigh.

On the line OF the Megantic railroad forest
Tires are raging, and the Italian laborers are suf-
1erlng terribly from heat, disease and hardships.
In the country through which the Canadian Pa
cl1e Is cutting its way, small p0x and the measles
prevail extensively. 1t seems as il our State aul-
thoritics ought to find some way TO compel the
company TO care for the hundreds of poor crea-
lures in their employ in Maine, and put stop to
the terrible state of things prevailing. -Rockland
Opinion.
Thisis rather an aged chestnut with a
very small amount of truth in it. A careful
inspection of the Megantic line shows that
the laborers are not abused, but well fed
and promptly paid. 1t has been hot I'M
doubleday along the line as it has been every
where else, but the Canadian Pacific COM
pany cannot fairly be held responsible for
the climate. Neither can they be for the
black flies which have been numerous and
caused much annoyance. As for small pox
and measles, there has been but one case of
the former and not q great many of the lat
ter The medical staff of the company is
efficient. and everything possible has been
done to stay these diseases, and properly
treat and care for those sick with them.
